Life Isn't Fair

May 29, 1995|By Connie Bradley.

MAYWOOD — What a sore loser Bob Greene is! Is he ever going to get over his obsession with the Baby Richard case? Why is he so fixated on this kid, so devastated because a child has to make an adjustment from one loving family to another?

Bob should think of all the poor children who don't have this option; kids no one wants. They're the ones he should be focusing on.

So Baby Richard experiences childhood trauma. Who doesn't? Does this make him that different from millions of other kids? Who said that life was fair? This middle-class mania to provide children with perfect childhoods is what makes their offspring grow up to be so self-centered and shallow.

Enough, already! Come on, Bob Greene, put this sob-sister journalism to rest. Let Baby Richard and his natural parents get on with their lives.
